- the accepted solid angle of the analyzer for 9.3 keV photoelectrons, as compared to 5.4 keV photoelectrons is about 60% less due to larger retardation used by the analyzer which reduces the solid angle.
- a dual Al K ⁇ and Cr K ⁇ x-ray source marketed as “Phi Quantes” by Ulvac-Phi, Inc. of Kanagawa Japan utilizes Rowland circle geometry Bragg crystals for monochromatization, which provides high resolution at the expense of lower flux and larger divergence angle.
- the example configuration provide three different x-ray energies, thereby allowing systematic study of depth profiling and optimizing the performance for signal strength, with a figure of merit about 50 times larger than currently marketed APXPS systems (e.g., equal to about 5 (flux) ⁇ 6 (cross-section) ⁇ 1.6 (acceptance solid angle)).
- the example configuration can provide higher flux (e.g., by a factor of five) with significantly higher cross sections and the ability for optimization depending on the element of interest and various thicknesses of the liquid and passivation layer of the sample.
